A Showcase for
Catalytic Funding Proposals
About Catalytic Funding
Although Catalyst 2030 is not a funding organisation, it was recognised that the Secretariat should continue to fund nodes – coordinators, chapter coordinators and seed catalytic projects. The project funding is a pilot opportunity for one year. This work must be strategically aligned to the mission of Catalyst 2030 and advance the ambitions of the movement.
Catalytic funding is a small grant given to Catalyst 2030 members who are at the inflection point of scale up of their chapter activities and are in need of funding for a coordinator or for specific systems changing collaborations. This funding is a one-time grant that will help lead to the creation of a country chapter or collaboration.
There were two types of funding members could apply for:
- Coordinator Funding (max € 10,000)
- Catalytic Seed Funding (max € 20,000)
